Can't Knock the Hustle - Jay- Z

You've seen their names, at least on my blog anyway, but Mike Posner and G.O.O.D. Music Artist Big Sean have had some trouble with some of their recent performances.

I saw this video for Mike Posner's performance at Duke a couple of weeks ago when it was released and was pretty amazed by it. Maybe not amazed, but it was interesting. He and Big Sean were performing at Duke's LDOC and ran out of time and the sound was cut on their set. What do they do?? Rock it a cappella. Then the crowd joins in and keeps singing so what does the tech crew do?? Play music to drown them out and force them off stage. For an unsigned artist that's a very good look.


Now, if you haven't heard Big Sean is currently on tour with Wale on the Attention Deficit Tour and stopped in Boston, May 8. During his set, the DJ effed up. As Sean is about to perform his soon to be first single "Getcha Some" the track isn't playing. Want to guess what he does?? Yup, a cappella. Now the track comes on eventually and he starts over, but stuff like that is admirable. Can't let every technicality get to us.


At first I wasn't going to post the video from LDOC, but what are the odds of this happening twice?
